flight to hongkong in about 7 hours. after not having made any major trips for 14 years or so, i've done 3 in quick succession - australia, bangkok (sorts of counts), and now.

first christmas spent in a cold country for a long long time. it'll be interesting. wasnt too keen on shopping while in bangkok - for one, the clothes didnt fit me very well! - but now hearing that most of the shops are stocking winter stuff in HK mainly, am a bit disappointed.

a bit of worries too. i have an exam on tuesday - just half a day to study on monday. will have to put in even more effort than now (am bringing my notes over to study.. a lot!!!), else maybe i'll get that look from people in the office?

anyway. enough of all these random thoughts. enjoy new year's in singapore!
